The Billionaire’s Secret Affair

Anya was still crying when someone suddenly called her cellphone. Assuming Arruba was the caller, she immediately answered it.

“Shit! let go of me!”

“Hey! Easy, baby. What happened? Are you alright?”Andrius on the other line opened in surprise.

Anya quickly bit her lower lip to stop herself from sobbing. She was hurt as her voice echoed with concern.”I’m fine. Why did you call?”she lied. She wasn’t a fan of lying but this time she needed to. She wanted to tell Andrius a lot but that was not possible.

“Nothing, baby. I just wanted to hear your voice. Imagining you’re with me. We cuddle and hug each other like nothing matters. Do you like it, Anya? Because I love you. And I love it too,”

“Ah, just for a moment. No signal…I can’t hear. I have to e-end the c-call,”said Anya before turning off the call.

Anya sank into her palm and let herself drown in pain. She let her tears flow which she had been holding back. It immediately splashed on her cheeks.

For Anya, life was unfair for her. When she was happy, there would be problem. She asked herself if when she would really be happy? Was it really hard to gain?

She accepted her defeat when Bryan left her on their wedding day. But this time, she couldn’t just accept it wholeheartedly. How would she accept a situation if others manipulate it?

Arruba manipulated everything. The woman wanted her gone, immediately. Things she could not accept. What was happening to her was very disturbing, especially now.

Anya wiped her tears after she cried her heart out. She immediately went to the bathroom and cleaned herself up. She even put the pregnancy test she bought in the bathroom sink so she could easily see it.

After grooming herself, she left her own room. She first glanced at her Pappi and when she saw that he was not there, she went straight to the kitchen.

Anya immediately saw her father who was busy cooking. When she looked at what he was cooking, she immediately tasted it. Porridge pork somehow made her feeling lighter.

“Oh, why do you still seem to be mourning? Your eyes are swollen. Did you cry? What happened?”Pappi asked immediately while sitting in the chair. He was carrying a cup that she knew contained coffee. He raised an eyebrow at her as she still did not speak.

“Why do you look so well, Pappi? I thought you were going to get drunk, again?”Anya joked, trying to lighten the mood. She sighed afterwards. Her father seemed to be fine. There was no sign of crying on his face.

“I just thought that even if I got drunk our problem would not go away. So, I stopped that madness. I might get liver disease again.”

Anya laughed softly at what Pappi said. His father did not say it directly but she knew he has a point. She shook her head and just sighed. There were things tha were not permanent.

Simultaneously with a realization was the drawing of the strange pain in her heart. She was hurt but needed. Scary but she had to do it. Not for him but for everyone.

“Hey! You’re stunned there! Oh, let’s eat.”Her Pappi caught her attention. He also tapped her on the shoulder which brought her back to the present.

“I’m sorry, Pappi. I’m just thinking,”Anya answered when she took the plate. He put rice and dishes on top of it and ate silently.

“What’s wrong with you, Anya? Eating while crying? Are you going to be like that the whole day?”It was a series of questions.

Anya lowered the fork she was holding and felt her own cheek. Her Pappi did not lie when he said she was crying. With so much thought, she did not realize that her tears were already dripping. She quickly wiped it with a tissue and faced her father with a smile.

“Pappi, nothing. It’s windy so I’m in tears. I’m really fine,”Anya replied to her father. She bit her lower lip to restrain herself from sobbing.

“They said I’m gay but I’m not blind. I know you have a problem. You can tell me whatever is bothering you,”worriedly said by her father.

Anya nodded and finished the meal. She lost her appetite. Whether she wanted to tell her father how she felt it was not possible now. It was not possible yet because she was not ready.

Anya immediately returned to her room. She sent a message to Andrius that she would not go to the office the next day. She also forced herself to sleep soundly. That was all she wanted in everything that happened to her throughout the day. She wanted peace. She wanted to forget Arruba and her threat. And only through her sleep, could that be achieve.

The next day Anya woke up early when she felt like her world was spinning because of dizziness. She ran to the bathroom and vomited there. Even though she was tired after the nausea, she was able to use the five test kits. She put it in her urine and left it in the sink.

“Oh, what are you doing there? Why are you sitting on the bathroom floor? Ay! Oh, my gosh!”

Anya looked up when she heard the voice of her Pappi. She did not notice that her father had already entered the bathroom. He was alsoholding a test kit and looked at her anxiously.

“You’re pregnant!”It was a statement and not a question. A confirmation.

Anya stood crouching on the bathroom floor and looked at the device. She found five test kits with two red lines. Her legs wobbled. Her whole system weakened. She sat down again and at the same time tears streamed down her cheeks.

The result told it all. She was pregnant.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
